Eric Gordon: Out Monday With Sore Ankle

Update: Gordon will mis Monday's game against the Nuggets with a sore ankle, the New Orleans Time-Picayune reports.

Recommendation: If it is really nothing more than soreness, Gordon should not be out for long. The good news here is that he is not missing time because of his constantly troublesome knees. Grievis Vasquez will also miss Monday's game with ankle soreness, leaving the Hornets without any reliable backcourt options. Look for Brian Roberts and Terel Harris to be among those who see extra playing time Monday night.
